What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Half/Stop]

Happy Anniversary to you and Pam Ron

Just had time to take a couple of pics on yesterday's newspaper! Hope everyone has a good Friday, and an excellent weekend

Thanks so much for the happy anniversary wishes Jack! I’ll be sure and show them to Pam. I haven’t heard ole Slim in a long time. I’ll have to say Jack, that may well be one of the best Stag Lambsfoot examples I’ve ever saw! You and Ashley did good my friend! I can hardly wait to see mine! On a side note, what a beautiful old British Twin.

I’ll pocket this one today to help hold me over until mine arrives! It can keep ole Red company! Have a great weekend!

Thanks guys.

Carrying this wonderful pair gifted to me by my friend, joeradza , to remind me of how lucky I am. Truly, Alan. Thank you.

 

[r8shell]

Alright, that does it. After a few years of just assuming I would find a nice used lambsfoot, I am going to put some actual effort into it. Great looking knife, Jack. Thanks for the inspiration.

By the way, I have a single cylinder version of the Royal Enfield in your picture. Maybe I’ll get one of the new twin cylinder versions down the road.

I have these two with me on the back porch this morning.

If you managed to get ahold of those two gems, a Lambsfoot knife will be easy!

If you believe in karma Shawn its easy to understand. He who gives, receives. Friendship is everlasting.

Such a pretty pony... Happy Black Friday

I know any knife will handle my blade needs but it's whether we bond that makes it into the rotation. This one was a high draft choice so it comes with high expectations.

You have a fantastic rotation of knives! Always look forward to seeing your collection!

Tribute to Alan, day.
I am carrying this thoughtful gift from my friend joeradza today! Thanks, buddy!

This one for me today.

My wife and I have elected to spend Labor Day weekend with my parents in the flat lands of Ohio. The weather is starting to change and the prospect of hunting season is coming right along. My #73L is getting involved in the mix.


My parents hens are on strike, so this mornings collection was meager.

Yeah, don't see many lambsfoots around here. Contemplating whether my next purchase will be a Buck 301, a Case Canoe, or a Sheffield lambsfoot. May have all three by the end of the year. Would have to order the lambsfoot online-- the other two are easy to find.

 

[screened porch]

The pen nick was endangering my thumbnail, so I eased the spring with the old 'squeeze a brad under the tang' ploy. Haven't broken one yet.

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Um.. I pulled a stupid this morning. Especially for a knife nut. Overslept and in my haste didn't drop the first folder in my pocket .Needless to say 6 miles from home when I stopped at the local gas station/diner/hardware store( gotta love country life) I bought this 34OT. I did already have my buck mesa on my belt, I usually put my belt wallet and phone case fixed blade of the day on the jeans I'll be wearing the night b4.

Can never have too many....

Two things will throw me off for the day, forgetting my wristwatch(happened twice in the last 15 years) and forgetting to put my knife in my pocket. That’s happened a few times, usually because something distracted me or I needed to change what I was wearing before I walked out the door. I tossed a Victorinox in each vehicle and my work briefcase for just that reason

Thanks for the canoe vote!
I know what your Remington of the Week is, and it's easy to see why!!

You've really got your Remington Scout rhythm going, Tom! No AC in St. Louis in August sounds less than ideal!
For me, Lambsfoot of the Week and Stag/Horn Knife of the Week are the same knife, my Man Jack:

Stockman of the Week is a medium Uncle Henry (thanks, Dean):

International Knife of the Week (could have been the lambsfoot, I suppose) is an Okapi Baby Sable:

Thanks GT, yeah it reached 86 degrees inside my place at one point , less than ideal to be sure. I had the bad luck of it breaking during an excessive heat warning, but all is well now. I really like the pic of the Okapi, that is a cool knife .

Pocket fixed blade time. Thought I should carry these for a while, I have a couple (like Enzo necker and a small Tommi-puukko). I bought this knife from Estonia and added the cord wrap and sheath.

I love pocket fixed blades, very cool HFinn

These two today, Happy Friday everyone!

Hot and humid, but had to bake or we’d be out of bread.

The color and jigging of the bone on your knife make it look just like a delicious mini loaf of bread!!

Sorry. I'm sure it gives some of my students nightmares too. ...
Lol. I think everybody just loves math. Right?

Math nightmares?? I tell my students math helps them make their dreams come true!

Thank you, Jack. Funny thing: When I took that pic I thought, "this looks like a photo Jack would take."
...
An excellent carry of Cases, Gary!
...

Thanks for the Case compliment, Dean. Somewhat scary that our minds share some thoughts, since my first glimpse of your photo made me think it would fit right in with Jack's ever-popular Watery Backgrounds series.

Two knives today, my avatar TC and a Case teardrop.

Great photos of admirable knives, Dean.

Welcome to The Porch, @jodapop , and congrats on the boffo gunstock! What's the latticework the knife is on?

Was just going through old pictures last night and come across this Northfield 73 in Stag so I decided to carry it today in a slip , as always , for old times sake . ...

...
Harry

What a captivating knife, Harry! IMHO, those stag 73s from summer of 2015 are classics!

Love the color on that copperlock! Very handsom knife.
...

I’ve got this guy today.

Thanks for noticing the Case mini copperlock; the walnut Rogers jigged bone is one of Case's best, I think. I also think the pattern you posted is one of the best traditional folder patterns, and yours has dynamite covers!

2 for Tuesday
Edit: I remembered seeing someone else pose their knives very recently like this, I liked it so I copied them lol. It was @Old Engineer with those amazing bulldog barlows....

Excellent! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

...
You back from your hols GT? Great-looking Pioneer my friend

...Two new ones, already slipped in my pockets tonight, I haven't had a chance to even CF them yet!

Thanks, Jack; we returned from our lakeshore idyll on the Ides of August. You're fairly flush with fetching lambsfoots lately!!

...
My first lambsfoot, so I’ll tote and use it a bit to see what the fuss is all about.View attachment 975236This evening, I’m flying to Colorado for a few days with my grandson, so I’m already planning which knives to take along.

Grand rehab of the TEW, Jeff! I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip.

Camillus Sword today, couldn't decide on what picture I liked best so I'll post all three

...

Handsome Sword Brand, Steve, and I favor this type of shot, from slightly below the level of the knife forming an arc de triomphe!

I thought an acorn would be a harbinger of fall, but all it did was bring another dose of hot, steamy summer.
View attachment 975264

Impeccable photo, Alan, and maybe such a cool knife can help you beat the heat.
(Math joke: What did the acorn say when it grew up? Readers may supply the punch line.)

...

Jolly good knife, but there's just so much of it!!

Hot and humid today! Keep hydrated folks!

Easier for us to stay hydrated if you weren't making us drool with killer pics, Gary!

Case bonestag medium stockman (032) for today.

Kudos on the laudable pic, Ken!!

Multi-blade, multi-beauty and multi-carry! All good, Gary!

Multi-thanks, Dean.

Wooden Wednesday...

Magnificent!

Carrying this old Catt today enjoying the cooler weather here in the heartland!
Fall is coming!

I'm more of a dog guy, but I'd be willing to make that noteworthy Catt a pet, Mark!

For Wednesday.

Another opulent Wooden Wednesday for Whetstone!

...
Not so struck on autumn, our terrible winter is on the back of that!

I praise your pragmatic position, Will!

I’m running a little later than usual today! I’ve got two with me.

You have some quality wood, Ron, including a couple of Osage Orange examples (this one and a stockman, IIRC) that definitely qualify!

Like Half/Stop , I'm running late on this Wooden Wednesday. I've been out in the north-east corner of our backyard which I allowed to become overrun with tall weeds and vines because a doe and her fawn were living there (the fawn may have been born there). They've moved on and I am clearing the poke weed, joe pye weed, trumpet vine, morning glory, and Virginia creeper. Had to quit just a bit ago, as it got to 95 F and humid. With a machete and gas powered brush cutter, I had this Kutmaster pruner for the vines. Slim and light, it was in its element, until I couldn't stand the heat.

Really radical height-to-thickness ratio on your Kutmaster Pruner, Stuart!

My Wooden Wednesday pair:
View attachment 975466

Salubrious study in contrasts with that wood pair, Rachel!

The wood looks extraordinary I only have the dual blades 78"s sure would like a single.

Dave, with the dual blades you already have the top of the line model!

There you go again, John, posting that useful knife again as a temptation to the weak-willed among us (me). Fortunately, the dealer with whom I'm preparing a knife order for this holiday weekend has no Carhartt Cases in stock!!

Big Knife of the Week for me is Rough Rider's version of the large sodbuster:


Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Simmons Keen Kutter (thanks, Mark):


Peanut-like Knife of the Week is a Taylor-Schrade 18OT:
